I got mine last Thursday and still haven't gotten the courage to take it...Life seems to get in the way...I'm afraid to be in the bathroom all day at work/the ride to work and the weekend is so busy.

I started Parastroy 10 days ago, and I have had little issues with it so far. Before Parastroy I took WMW (chinese herbs), and I was in so much pain after 2 days I couldn't bear it. It took 3 weeks for me to recover. Anyway, I had the exact same nerves as you all about Parastroy, and I am happy to say I have had an okay time with it! I hope this eases your worries a little bit! Good Luck!

I took it for 4 months this past winter. No problems at all. Sure, some days I felt a bit tired, some days I felt some stabbings in the back that would come and go for an hour or so, but I figured the parasites were letting go. It really was no big deal. It took a month before I saw aliens in the toilette.
I recently got a friend of mine started on Parastroy. She said she had some diarrhea from for the first week. She stayed at the "first week dosage" for 2 weeks, until she felt fine again and then moved up. She might be at full dose by now and has had no more symptoms.
I was worried to start it too, but really, just start. Looking back, there was nothing to worry about!

Haha - I am joining this "wimpy" crowd too. I have had the Parastroy box sitting in my kitchen.
I am going to start it on Sunday. If I start on a Thursday then I will get my weeks all confused. Should we be taking the pills 2 weeks on and 1 week of? Or consistently every day?
I am scared to see any aliens in the toilet!

LOL @ Penquingirl... I know what you mean since I always start my meds on Monday or I get confused!
Why does it take a month to get the aliens out?? Yuck!

The only side effect I had from Parastroy was acid reflux in the early morning hours. It has Betain Hydrochloride in it. Just make sure to drink a lot of water with it.

What to expect from Parastroy? Nothing..It did absolutely nothing for me. Waste of time and money for me. Good thing it was cheap.
You may have better results.

Bigstan, how long did you try? How much did you take? Maybe you don't have parasites? That could be a good thing.

bigstan,
You have to stay on any antiparasitic herbs!!! One month just is not enough. For some it can take a few months like hens for these parasites to let go.
It took me six months of several strong herbs (16 caps a day) for them to let go. It was two days after I started the salt/c that all hell broke loose.
Folks,
Don't be afraid to start at a low dose and ramp up from there. You can also take 3 2 x a day after 3rd week. Or 2 3 x a day. TAKE THESE WITH FOOD as suggested.
If you're really scared to start, you can open the capsules up and put them in applesauce and take a little at a time. Good luck everyone. Drink lots of water.

I took my first 2 pills about 3 hours ago. No effects or discomfort. Maybe just a little bubbly.
I am going to ease slow into it until after the weekend and then ramp up after things slow down.
Thanks Fuel

Fuel,
You beat me to adding that you probably should start these (or continue) AFTER the weekend wedding.

Awe... how sweet that you call your wife "Bride". I love it when men love their women!! I'm one of those lucky ones with a loving husband. He calls me his "girlfriend" when we go out w/out our kids. With the kids then I'm "the wife".

I wanted to add that if anyone is allergic to nuts (walnuts) that the box has that noted as part of the ingredients.

BTW - I just noticed I hit 500 on the posts.. saweet.

I think he starts threads and talks to himself a few words at a time with different replies. JK
Just having fun James my buddy

Fuel - LOL! I heard that!
Penguingirl - yep, kegels and fermented viggies and "how to get a firm ass". (I think mine is improving, BTW).
I don't know how I got so many posts. It's probably because I spend WAAAAY too much time on this forum. It's addicting!
I think 90% of my posts are stupid jokes, 9% are questions that I need help with, and the last 1% are "indeterminate".
I thought I'd be gone from here a long time ago, but it looks like I may just be at the VERY BEGINNING of my Lyme treatment. Moohahahahaha! You guys might have to put up with me for many more months now!
BTW, I also was very happy to see that both Fuel and Scorpio both have good relationships with their spouses. For some reason, most of my "non-internet" friends complain a lot about their wives (and get divorced frequently). Curiously enough, I rarely hear the wives complaining about the husbands. But we all know that's because it's usually the wives who are the troublemakers!

James - Thanks for the kind words! I am seriously a lucky guy. I mean who would be able to deal with someone that is always sick and it always seems to be about them and getting healthy?
Also, I hope you are cured in days, but stick around nontheless to keep us entertained and informed.

Yes James - even if you are 100% it would be fun to have your humor around here!
Fuel - I'm lucky as well - I'm not married (yet) but have an incredibly supportive boyfriend who has watched me go through hell and back and stuck by me every way. So I know if he can put up with my rage and insomnia, he must be a keeper!

Yes James you can not leave us even if you're all better. I promise not to cause you any troubles!
Fuel, that's what marriage should be like! Otherwise why bother if you're going to jump ship at the first sign of rough seas.

I am not sure if it's working. I haven't seen any wormies yet, but I haven't really dissected either! I do feel significantly more tired lately, but I have also cut back my sugar intake. Who knows, I'm just hanging in there!

I have to comment on the parasite treatment. I have started reading Buhner's book Healing Lyme. What a fantastic book! I have not even gotten to the protocol.
He does an amazing job of describing the spirochete and how it is so successful at detroying us. He also says that the spirochete responds to anti-parasitics.
I have started some anti-parasitics along with Tindamax and also added some things like Smilax. I'm feeling pretty great but I don't think it's killing worms, I think it's killing the bacteria.
It now makes sense to me ... why so many people are having result with the parasite cleanses. IMHO.

Not sure why your hands itch... but mine feel hot now after the sauna!
I'm bummed that they have not shipped my Parastroy. So I can't try until next week. Maybe if I feel brave enough I might try the Salt/C, but then again maybe not since I did the sauna today. I better wait to make sure I feel ok first... not point in trying too much too soon.
Hope you're having a great time at the wedding!

Fuel, man, I hope you're not getting trashed at the wedding! Don't forget that alcohol is not good for us. When you get back, you'll have to confess to us if you "cheated".
